Feds: Former fugitive’s father should go to prison

"Federal prosecutors say the 78-year-old father of a convicted Connecticut killer who was captured in Mexico after two decades on the run should go to prison for six months for helping his son flee the country and sending him money. Prosecutors wrote in court papers Monday that Frederick Zachs of West Hartford concocted a plan to help his 48-year-old son, Adam Zachs, 'literally get away with murder.'" (08/22/11)
